Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter for MacBook Air

Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter for MacBook Air

Overview

The 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Air stays put safely. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.

When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up; an amber light lets you know that your notebook is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC lead is provided with the adapter for maximum lead length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Designed to be the perfect travelling companion, the adapter has a clever design that allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.

This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.

Compatible only with MacBook Air featuring MagSafe 2 power port.

Not sure if this is the right power adapter for your Mac?

Knowing which specific Mac model you have is important. If you are running OS X Lion (10.7) or later, go to the “” menu at the top left of your screen, choose “About this Mac” then click the “More Info...” button. Your Mac model and generation will be displayed.

I've had Macs for over 30 years. By far, the most badly designed accessory for any Macbook or Mac Air or Mac Pro is the AC adapter. No matter how careful you are, the adapter breaks and shorts out long before it should; it's the Achilles heel of Apple products. At this writing, my early 2014 Macbook Air is like new, but the AC adapter just shorted out. Please, Apple, there's no reason for this.

Charger broke within 4 months

After transporting my charger in my backpack, I was surprised to have found the cord to be frayed. Looks like a lot of people are having quality issues as well.

I love my MacBook Air but the charger is not durable. For $80 it should last longer than it has. The cord is not frayed but has stopped charging my computer. Very disappointing to see Apple is not reading the reviews and making changes.

I've had MacBook air for over 5 years now. it's still in a perfect status while I had to buy a new adapter twice for the same device regardless that I've been a very careful user. I just wish if it was as great quality as the laptop.

Worth knowing:
Compared to the magnificently engineered MagSafe Side adapter, the MagSafe2 cable is stiffer, coils poorly and the connector protrudes about 3/4 inch from the body of the mac.
In my humble opinion it is not as elegant an industrial design solution as it's predecessor.

The unit that I have (got it with the MacBook Air) has input: 100 – 240 V~ 50 – 60 Hz. These fit to European ratings.
It then depends on the connector. In Finland we have different connector from for example UK. So it really depends where exactly in Europe you are targeting. Usually travel adapters take care of the connectors.
So I would say yes, it works fine in Europe, just double check the input ratings, as always when connecting electric equipment.
